User:Ajobin

I was an occassional editor & donor here, but due to some hostile experiences here, including being threatened via email, & inconsistent enforcement of policies, I am now inactive.

Some things I work on here:

• topics that I have come to Wikipedia for some information about
• interests: jazz & improvisational arts, historical drama, art & culture, international relations (especially Asia)
• systemic biases in Wikipedia
• WP:DEADEND pages

Why I volunteer here: In an interconnected world, our social stability depends on our collective ability to integrate varied perspectives and beliefs. I think what distinguishes us as people is moral reasoning (analogy, empathy, etc.).

Picture of the day

Mary I (1516–1558) was the queen of England and Ireland from July 1553 until her death. The only child of Henry VIII with his first wife, Catherine of Aragon, Mary is remembered for her restoration of Roman Catholicism after the short-lived Protestant reign of her half-brother, Edward VI. During her five-year reign, she had more than 280 religious dissenters burned at the stake in the Marian persecutions. After her death, Mary gained the posthumous sobriquet "Bloody Mary", and Protestantism was re-established by her successor Elizabeth I. This oil portrait on panel of Mary was painted by the Dutch artist Antonis Mor in 1554, and is in the collection of the Museo del Prado in Madrid, Spain.Painting credit: Antonis Mor

Some pages I watch that are vandalized at least occasionally: Radcliffe Line.

I took Radcliffe Line from a collection of uncited opinions to a readable, well-cited article that has even made it to the main page. It still needs work on details and citations. It does not attract a lot of scholarly interest despite that fact that the boundary has ongoing geo-political consequences and implications for foreign-policy.
